I was asked to put these on by Miss Flamingo 2013 aka Agnes Stewart.
Thanks to Crowth for supplying the know how as I haven't posted pics for quite some time.

Lots of luck with the trip to Gambia.

Thank you Pete Reek!! What a brilliant help to have these pictures posted! Aren't the Muneroy meringues just amazing folks?
Thanks to all you people in the community getting behind this crazy fundraiser. There has been a Flamingo tea and an invite to appear at a very special event later in the month for the birds this week. They are also booked solid for the next 2 weeks and only a few of us know where they are heading next :D
Thanks also to the co-op staff for having them today!

Roger we are also happy to carry out a contract flocking if you want to flock a friend, or anti-flocking insurance can be purchased if you don't want the birds landing on your lawn :lol:

Noticed the Coop had been flocked today. The poor lass on the till I was at was most distraught as the one nearest her kept falling over and she couldn't do a thing about it. What a great and imaginative way to raise funds :D

Thanks Crowth! I heard somebody moaning about the birds being really annoying but they are bringing in the money for a very worthwhile cause and cheering most people up in the process. Off to bed for me, I'm out flocking at 6am!! Where will they be tomorrow? :D
Infact...........do both you and Pete Reek not have very nice lawns :wink:

I have yet to experience the flock - but it's a great way to raise money for a good cause!

The flamingos have landed! And very quietly too - never heard a thing. Mind you, Placido Flamingo belting out 'Nessun Dorma' was an amazing addition to the dawn chorus. And they seem to be keeping the crows away. Can I keep them?!

I had great helpers this morning Amron though one of them hadn't been to sleep at all, oh to be young :lol:

:lol: I was sure you would have heard us this morning Mr C! It was so still and peaceful at 6am it makes you think you are being very noisy even when you aren't. My apologies, I forgot to leave their calling card. I will drop it in when we collect them later because NO! sorry you can't keep them they have a very busy schedule in the coming weeks :D . Some of them may be up for adoption at the end of the fundraiser so we will keep you in mind for Placido! Thank you for having them :D

Fame at last!! The suppliers of our flamingos have given us this great wee boost on their website! Have a read :D
The birds have had a couple of days off to escape the wind but are back out there this morning! We are fully booked for the next 2 weeks so if anybody still wants to be "flocked" get in touch soon to avoid disappointment!
